  • Shock Wave Operation Jumpgate - Its more of the same though but with new aliens and an outer space setting instead of the invasion on earth. If you enjoyed the first game and are looking for a similar challenge then you can't go far wrong
  • The Incredible Machine - This is a strange game. On the surface it looks abit naff with rather simplistic graphics and monotonous gameplay but after solving a couple of puzzles you'll be hooked!
  • The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - The story line is quite engrossing with tales of murder and mystery and the visuals are average with the odd burst of nice presentation. If you're a budding Holmes and fancy this kind of thing then try on this deerstalker for size.
  • Slayer - Packed with varied dungons and monsters, this is a nice blend of first person exploring and hack n slash action. A little fiddly to play it at first, you'll soon lose yourself in the foreboding stone corridors.
  • The Need for Speed - Fantastic! The greatest console driving game ever! Eight cars to chose from all breaktakening rendered, presented with stunning film footage, stars and three different views to race from on super realistic track. 3DO owners will be the envy of the games world with this new title.
  • Theme Park - Undoutbalty the best version of the game yet. Theme Park on the 3DO is surely the version that Bullfrog wanted to show the world.
  • Waialae Country Club - Definitely the best golfing game on the 3DO, it utilises the 3DO's graphical capablities to the full. Unfortanately, this is at the expense of the gameplay.
  • VR Stalker - Basic graphics with a lack of detail in the ground and on the planes let the game down. big time.
